I have just read on Teletext that;-

"Eminems New Single, Without me is now being played on Radio stations. The song out May 20 ATTACKS Prince, US vice president Dick Cheyney, Moby and Limp Bizkit"

Does anyone know anymore on this?

I really fuckin' hate that guy!!

Can't say much for Dick Cheney or Limp Bizkit, but Prince & Moby? I think the man needs another hug from Elton to settle him down...

I just got the song and was about to make a thread on this.
Anyway, here are the lyrics to "Without Me" by Eminem.

Intro 1) 2X
Two trailer park girls go round the outside,
Round the outside, round the outside..

(Intro 2)
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back,
Guess who's back. Guess who's back…

(Verse 1)
I created a monster, cuz nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the Dr. when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey"
You waited this long to stop debating
Cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know you got a job Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem is complicated
So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So come on and dip, bum on your lips
Jump back jiggle a hip and wiggle a bit
And get ready cuz this is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, "Fuck you, Debbie !!"

(Chorus) 2X
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
Cuz we need a little controversy
Cuz it feels so empty without me..

(Verse 2)
Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "BITCH"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me
Well I'm back (batman sound) fix your bent antennae
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter
Into the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please"
Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me
Here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me..

(Chorus 2X)

(Verse 3)
A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this and that shit
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie
You 36 year old bald headed say blow me
You don't know me, you're too old
Let it go its over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, just give me the signal
I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since PRINCE turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes man it just seems
Everybody only wants to dis-cuss me
So this must mean I'm dis-gusting
But it's just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do Black Music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy
"Hey" there's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It will be so empty without me..

(Chorus 2X)

Eminem= and needs a masssivass pimp slap from 7kisses4u aka 7pimpslappins4u

Seems to me that is more of a prop then an attack/dis.

It's over for this dude. I saw him on Extra and thought he was actually forcing the anger and hatred. Like it's sooo 99 and now he's really over that period but has to conitnue it because it's what defines him. Stupid and typical of rappers. There like victims of there own sad spew. Held back.

Granted, I don't like Moby either (he's no musical gift you know) and Moby doesn't spew hatred but ONE DAY Eminem will BE 36 still holding on to that freedom of hatred image.

that is not an attack.

if it was, then will you take this talib kweli quote from "re:definition" on the black star album as a diss too?

"Regardless, the Mos is one of my closest partners
Rockin ever since before Prince was called The Artist
Rocker before Funkmaster Flex was rockin Starter
When 'Pac and Biggie was still cool before they was martyrs"

... nope.

definitely not a diss



in defense of eminem... he is a pretty tight lyricist. not many in hip hop can hang with him. but i agree that he should drop the pissed off angle... its old. he's more talented than that.

How come everybody's always bitching on Eminem?

Interesting to see people jumping to Prince's defence and slagging off Eminem before they knew the lyrics. Clearly they are not aimed at Prince in a negative manner, being more of a comment than anything else.

For those that are blind to Hip Hop / Rap, Prince is held in high regard by many artists (have to admit, I'm not sure about Eminem) throughout Hip Hop and gets a lot of props.

Next time, check the facts!

lol I love Em, big ups Detroit my hometown :*)

The new song is an obvious instant hit, so i don't think he's going anywhere soon. Besides, the guy's records r fun, so y complain.

I wasn't bitching on Eminem. I was gonna post about the Prince mention in his new song but someone already beat me to it.

PS: U can hear the new track on NewPowerRadio.

that aint no attack....i thought he was gonna let prince have it the way he did his mother or christina aguliera.....anyways Angry blonde lol...dude is crazy i love me some eminem.

More of an attack on Moby. Wheres the cuss on Prince?

This was reported on Channel 4 Teletext. Now I see it is wrong! Just shows the usual wrong reports relating to Prine. What ever happened to the TRUTH!

The reason Eminem is attacking Moby is because,during the 2000 Grammy Awards (where Eminem performed with Elton),Moby is the only artist who had the balls to criticize Eminem's hateful messages in his music.Every other artist kept saying things like "well,he does have freedom of speech",but Moby came right out and said what he REALLY feels about the anti-gay,violent lyrics that Eminem writes.

I think Eminem is one of the most talented rappers out there now. And, I don't see how this is a dis, he's just making an observance.

I'm working on a remix right now for this song.

not that i condone what eminem says, but i believe he is singled out and made an example of...even common's 'like water for chocolate' includes some derogatory gay terms...a lot of hip-hop does..not that it's right, but the media just singles out one artist...and it hardly seems fair that 'gay bashing' is accepted pretty much across the board in a musical genre, until eminem uses the term 'faggot...'
..at this years grammy's a song called 'i've got ho's in different area codes' actually won a 'best rap' grammy...where were all the feminist groups then? the difference? it's not eminem, so nobody cares...
..i will also venture to say that a lot of people who are anti-eminem have never even listened to an album of his...his talent is undeniable and if anything his over-the-top lyrics set an example of how people should not be...he would be, and has been, the first to admit that...
..another thing i find interesting is that on tori amos 'strange little girls' she covers an eminem song...the one about killing his wife and throwing her in the lake..and many of the same people who were protesting eminem's lyrical content believe tori amos is brilliant...and apparently it's fine for her to say it, just not him...

What a hypocrite.
The person who mentored him and helped him (Dre) is 37 years old.

Props to Em. Moby's a fuckin dick for what he said. He's always bitching about what other artists do with their business. I hope Eminem dedicates a whole track to that pussy.

I just finished my Eminem remix.

I will ad it Monday to the NPR playlist if U want to hear it.

"Without Me (Purple Mix)" - Eminem

He's probably stuck in that angry white boy image. No, that was not a dis to Prince, but with Moby, that was definately a shot at him.

EMINEM has a movie coming out this summer... and he is FANTASTIC... and there was a mention of Paisley Park in the original script ... i dont know if its still in there or not... but either way, he's a fan, not a hater (at least where it concerns Prince)

EMINEM=WHITE TRASH

Lol that's funny I haven't heard that term in a while!

that wasn't an attack on Prince. It was merely a reference. Em is a Prince fan, actually. He said he wanted to model his upcoming self biographic film after Purple Rain.

ATTACK????? Not at all.

I personally like Eminem's style of rapping. I think people just take things to heart at times.

Much Love,

Right on Eminem.....you still have that 'star quality' of controversy in check. Y'all, he didn't say anything bad about our hero, but just goes to show you - negativity attracts, period. That's how I got y'all so pissed with my previous post. As much as all of you emailed & orgnoted me saying you were sorry for your harsh words, it can be certain that Eminem was just doing this for attention.
But so what, he knows how to hit your nerves, so what's wrong? After all, we're all interested in the bad news - the good news tv show tested a few years ago, never even made it a month. Think about it.
My hat's off to Eminem & maybe he should sample "Controversy" in his next song - at least Prince would get a much deserved, big paycheck.

Divy

Hit me with your best shot.....
